T1G3R-1 Trial: Detectability and Prognostic Value of ctDNA in T1 G3 Bladder Cancer

Summary

T1G3 bladder cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a high risk of disease persistence after the first TUR-B, understaging, disease progression, bladder removal, and mortality. Current risk stratification is insufficient and needs improvement. Ct-DNA could identify patients with disease persistence, progression and could monitor and tailor therapy. It might improve patient risk stratification, avoiding under- and overtreatment, reducing morbidity and mortality. Primary objective is to investigate the detectability of ct-DNA in T1G3 urothelial bladder cancer patients and build a biobank through collection of different sample types (urine, plasma) in T1G3 bladder cancer patients which allows future retrospective testing.
